Italian Pork Sausage with Fennel

Italian Pork Sausage with Fennel

Everyday

Italian pork sausage with fennel is a fresh, uncured sausage distinguished by its prominent fennel seeds, which impart a licorice-like aroma and earthy sweetness. Made from coarsely ground pork seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and red chili flakes in some regional variations, this protein-rich sausage contains notable saturated fat and sodium levels. It is traditionally pan-fried, grilled, or simmered in tomato-based sauces, serving as a cornerstone of Italian-American dishes like pasta alla nonna and sausage-and-pepper entrees.
